Negotiators urge preservation of CVOEO Community Resource Center funding; said $500,000 could maintain operations
Summary
Committee members described the Community Resource Center operated by CVOEO in Burlington as low-barrier sheltering that would likely close without $500,000 in one-time funding; members asked for timeline details and said the center plays a role in the GA-to-H91 transition.
Committee members discussed a $500,000 one-time request for the CVOEO Community Resource Center, described in the transcript as a low-barrier shelter in Chittenden County that provides adverse-weather sheltering and other services.
Speaker 2 said, "Without this money, they will essentially fold. It's critical right now for, helping people learn adverse weather among other needs. So, that's really it. It is in Burlington." Another member asked if $500,000 would keep the center open for a year; the committee recorded that the funding would provide support over the transition period tied to GA-to-H91 implementation.
Members said this funding is distinct from a separate $10,000,000 house proposal and requested more detail on timing and how the center would fit into H91 transition planning before making a final appropriation decision.
